  - Phase 3 - Upgrade Jetty 10 to Jetty 12 EE 8 - **13 Aug 2024**
    - Tests running in plugin compatibility tester
    - Core changes are finished, core pull request arriving soon
    - Many plugins adapted before the transition
    - Some plugins that will need to release in lock step with the new release
    - One more plugin needs adaptation - HTTP request
      - Otherwise we need to exclude its test from plugin BOM

  - Phase 4 - Upgrade Jetty 12 EE 8 to Jetty 12 EE 9 + Spring Security 6.x
    - Bigger change
    - Pull requests are prepared, needs more security review
    - No date selected yet, but coming after Jetty 12 EE 8
    - CloudBees internal checks are also running against Jetty 12 EE 8 and EE 9
    - Upgrade Jetty and Spring Security in this phase
    - Jenkins core has been tested with the changes, looking for more testing
    - Intentionally waiting until after the security release this week

  - Remember that plugin updates needed at same time as this upgrade
    - Documentation update on the Env Inject plugin that will be included in the LTS upgrade guide
      - Much larger project to make a larger fix
      - Multiple duplicates of this issue, likely more once Java 17 is required in LTS
      - Redirect people to that comment
